I Heart NY (Eat It, Boston!) - UPDATE XLII

"But I have to root for the Patriots to win the AFC Championship. No, I don't like the Patriots. Never have. And this is not a diss of my boy, Mark. I'm selling the soul for the Patriots to lose the Super Bowl®, in overtime, by one point, on a disputed play ("tuck rule" perhaps). I'll give kidney for that to happen. Sweet Raider revenge."

Ha ha ha ha ha! So it wasn't in overtime. So it wasn't one point. So it wasn't disputed. What-evs. I called it and I'm taking it and I'm keeping it (along with my kidneys). Giants, baby! Raider revenge. SCV revenge. Yankee revenge. New York revenge. Laker revenge. Revenge of the Nerds. Tuck Rule revenge. Boston can eat it, baby. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh, Plaxico "The Prophet" Burress was a jerk for predicting a 23-17 Giants win? "I'm not going to back down and say we are going to lose the game," Burress said Thursday. And, he added, "We're going to take this thing back to New York City."Bulletin board material? Running his mouth? Brady insulted? Oops! My bad. Cry me the Charles River.

"We're only going to score 17 points?" Tom Brady said with a laugh. "OK. Is Plax playing defense?"

"The Patriots won their first Super Bowl in 2002 thanks to the tuck rule. Six years layer, they lost the greatest Super Bowl in history thanks to Justin Tuck and the Giants defense. A ferocious pass rush, spearheaded by Tuck and Michael Strahan, accomplished the seemingly impossible in Super Bowl XLII, turning the infallible Tom Brady into a merely average quarterback."

Ask anyone. I fucking knew it. I called it. As soon as I saw Belichick in the red hoodie, I marked it, "game over. Giants win." Even my cat, Max Eli, knew it was over.

"Why mess with the championship karma of the gray hoodie and go with that strange new red hoodie? Was it a play to the team's old colors and Pat the Patriot logo? Or an effort to push more merchandise? There weren't any Patriots fans watching who didn't get worried when they first saw the red hoodie."

Lastly, my personal apologies to Eli "Citizen Watch" Manning. I'll be out shopping for my Superbowl® MVP™ Eli "Unstoppable" Manning jersey and my Citizen "Unstoppable" Eco-Drive watch in the morning.

Suck it, Boston! In New York, defense is that monster from Cloverfield.

P.S. And really, nobody gives a shit about the ads. That's brainwashing, people.
